No.

"The President shall, at stated times, receive for his services, a compensation, which shall neither be increased nor diminished during the period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that period any other emolument from the United States, or any of them." Art. II, Sec. 1

Certainly not. The president has no control over his own salary, but even those people who do set salaries (i.e. Congress) can not give themselves a raise that applies to their current term of office.
